《Ballad Of The Alamo》歌词

[00:00:00] Ballad Of The Alamo - Marty Robbins

[00:00:04] In the southern part of texas

[00:00:07] In the town of san antone

[00:00:09] There's a fortress all in ruins

[00:00:11] That the weeds have overgrown

[00:00:14] You may look in vain for crosses

[00:00:17] And you'll never see a-one

[00:00:19] But sometimes between the setting

[00:00:21] And the rising of the sun

[00:00:23] You can hear a ghostly bugle

[00:00:26] As the men go marching by

[00:00:28] You can hear them as they answer

[00:00:30] To that roll call in the sky

[00:00:34] Colonel travis davy crockett

[00:00:36] And a hundred eighty more

[00:00:38] Captain dickinson jim bowie

[00:00:41] Present and accounted for

[00:00:44] Back in 1836 houston said to travis

[00:00:48] "Get some volunteers and go

[00:00:51] Fortify the alamo "

[00:00:53] Well the men came from texas

[00:00:55] And from old tennessee

[00:00:57] And they joined up with travis

[00:00:59] Just to fight for the right to be free

[00:01:03] Indian scouts with squirrel guns

[00:01:05] Men with muzzle loaders

[00:01:07] Stood together heel and toe

[00:01:10] To defend the alamo

[00:01:12] "You may never see your loved ones"

[00:01:14] Travis told them that day

[00:01:16] "Those who want to can leave now

[00:01:19] Those who fight to the death let them stay"

[00:01:22] In the sand he drew a line

[00:01:24] With his army sabre

[00:01:27] Out of a hundred eighty five

[00:01:29] Not a soldier crossed the line

[00:01:31] With his banners a-dancing

[00:01:33] In the dawn's golden light

[00:01:35] Santa anna came prancing

[00:01:38] On a horse that was black as the night

[00:01:41] Sent an officer to tell

[00:01:44] Travis to surrender

[00:01:46] Travis answered with a shell

[00:01:48] And a rousing rebel yell

[00:01:50] Santa anna turned scarlet

[00:01:52] "Play deguello " He roared

[00:01:55] "I will show them no quarter

[00:01:57] Every one will be put to the sword "

[00:02:01] One hundred and eighty five

[00:02:03] Holding back five thousand

[00:02:05] Five days six days eight days ten

[00:02:08] Travis held and held again

[00:02:09] Then he sent for replacements

[00:02:12] For his wounded and lame

[00:02:14] But the troops that were coming

[00:02:16] Never came never came never came

[00:02:20] Twice he charged and blew recall

[00:02:22] On the fatal third time

[00:02:24] Santa anna breached the wall

[00:02:27] And he killed them one and all

[00:02:29] Now the bugles are silent

[00:02:31] And there's rust on each sword

[00:02:33] And the small band of soldiers

[00:02:36] Lie asleep in the arms of the lord

[00:02:49] In the southern part of texas

[00:02:52] Near the town of san antone

[00:02:54] Like a statue on his pinto

[00:02:56] Rides a cowboy all alone

[00:02:59] And he sees the cattle grazing

[00:03:02] Where a century before

[00:03:04] Santa anna's guns were blazing

[00:03:06] And the cannons used to roar

[00:03:09] And his eyes turn sorta misty

[00:03:11] And his heart begins to glow

[00:03:13] And he takes his hat off slowly

[00:03:17] To the men of alamo

[00:03:22] To the thirteen days of glory

[00:03:28] At the siege of alamo
